On September 17, 2013, the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (DOL) announced a final rule eliminating the Fair Labor Standard Act’s (FLSA) minimum wage and overtime exemption for home care workers employed by home care agencies and other companies. The new regulations, which go into effect on January 1, 2015, also significantly narrow the exemption for home care workers employed directly by the individuals or families receiving home care services.
